Prayer times are set by the position of the sun, so they shift a little every day and differ from one city to the next. Fajr begins at true dawn, Dhuhr just after midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib at sunset, and Isha when the twilight fades. A calculator turns your location into today's full timetable in seconds.
Two timetables for the same city can still disagree by a few minutes, and that is usually down to the calculation method. Each method defines the sun's angle for Fajr and Isha slightly differently — common conventions include the Muslim World League and ISNA standards. Use the method your local mosque follows, and treat any calculator's output as a starting point rather than the final word.

FAQ
Why do prayer times differ from city to city?
Because they are tied to the sun. Sunrise, noon, and sunset move with your longitude, latitude, and the season, so every location has its own daily schedule.
What is the difference between calculation methods?
Each method sets a slightly different sun angle for dawn (Fajr) and nightfall (Isha). Regions standardize on one convention, which is why you should match the one your local mosque uses.
How accurate is an online prayer time calculator?
The astronomy is accurate to about a minute. The main variable is which angle convention you pick — choose the one used locally and you will be aligned with your mosque.
